"I'm sleepy," Qin Wan said.
Seeing that she was trying to lie down, Qi Xiao quickly reached out and grabbed her.
Qin Wan sighed and looked at him expressionlessly.
"Is there anything else you want to ask?"
"I'm not sleepy." Qi Xiao smiled meaningfully.
Qin Wan: "..."
"I can have someone find you some medical books."
"Not interested."
"So what are you interested in?" Qin Wan asked subconsciously.
"you."
Qin Wan: "..."
"...Do you have a grudge against Ji Wenruo?" Qin Wan noticed his subtle rivalry and looked slightly puzzled.
"Do you think he's worthy?" Qi Xiao stared at Qin Wan with a defiant look in his eyes.
Qin Wan: "..."
"Tell me, what exactly do you want?" Qin Wan pinched the bridge of her nose, her eyes full of helplessness.
"I'm in a bad mood because you schemed against me."
Qin Wan: "..."
"so what?"
"You took advantage of me, shouldn't you make it up to me?"
"Just tell me," Qin Wan sighed.
"I can't sleep, keep me company and chat with me." Qi Xiao said as he reached out to pull the brocade quilt off Qin Wan.
Qin Wan: "..."
A dark and windy night...
Qin Wan was forcibly dragged out of the commander's tent by Qi Xiao. Under the shocked and incredulous gazes of the soldiers, Qin Wan and Qi Xiao disappeared into the night together.
On the small hills of the grassland.
Qin Wan and Qi Xiao lay lazily on the grass, looking at the hazy moonlight overhead.
Qin Wan was drowsy, but Qi Xiao was full of energy.
"I didn't realize you had such a good temper," Qi Xiao said, tugging at Qin Wan's hair and playing with it.
Qin Wan: "..."
The slight stinging sensation from the top of her head instantly dispelled Qin Wan's drowsiness.
A rare hint of helplessness appeared in her usually calm and collected eyes.
This guy really knows how to cause trouble at night.
"I've never been an easy person to get along with since I was little," Qin Wan said calmly.
Upon hearing this, Qi Xiao paused almost imperceptibly in the hand that was playing with her hair.
Is she not easy to get along with?
Why are you so obedient to him?
Could it be...
"Did you take advantage of my guilt?" Qi Xiao sat up and turned to look at her with interest.
Qin Wan glanced at her indifferently and said nothing.
"Forget it, whether you're easy to get along with or have a good temper is none of my business."
Even so, where Qin Wan couldn't see, Qi Xiao's lips still curled up almost imperceptibly.
[Ye Qixiao's favorability increased by 2, current favorability is 12.]
This feeling of being clearly and explicitly favored seems pretty good.
Although he didn't know why Qin Wan was treating him so well despite the mistake.
But does the reason matter?
Of course it's not important.
His happiness is the most important thing.
Thinking of this, Qi Xiao suddenly turned to Qin Wan and assured her, "Since you're not bad-looking, I can grant you one request."
Upon hearing this, Qin Wan was taken aback.
"What?"
Seeing how dull and clueless she was, a faint look of disdain flashed across Qi Xiao's eyes.
"You really are..."
"Fine, I'll let it go since you're a girl and easily embarrassed."
"I can assure you that the fact that you are both a woman and a phoenix maiden is something that only heaven, earth, you, and I know."
Seeing Qi Xiao's awkward little face, Qin Wan's lips curled up slightly, and a faint smile flashed in her eyes.
"Thank you." Although it's not necessary.
Qin Wan silently added a sentence in her mind.
Seeing that she still had a conscience and knew how to be grateful, Qi Xiao found her rather pleasing to the eye at that moment...
Qi Xiao's favorability increased by 2, current favorability is 14.
Considering she was a young woman, the prophesied Phoenix Maiden, raised disguised as a boy since childhood and cultivated by the Prince of Huainan, her life must have been difficult.
Thinking of this, Qi Xiao felt a faint sense of sympathy for Qin Wan.
Qi Xiao's favorability increased by 5, current favorability is 19.
"Have you thought about the future?" Qi Xiao suddenly asked.
Qin Wan asked calmly, "What do you mean by 'later'?"
"Your identity, and the fate of the Qin family army," Qi Xiao suddenly asked boldly.
"When soldiers come, we'll block them; when water comes, we'll dam it," Qin Wan said calmly.
Seeing the calm expression on her face, Qi Xiao curled his lip and said with a look of disdain, "You're quite open-minded."
"Do you know Feng Yurou?" Qi Xiao suddenly changed the subject.
"I don't know him, but I've heard of him."
"She now controls almost the entire harem of the Great Xia Dynasty. I suspect that Ji Wenruo's arrival is related to her, barring any unforeseen circumstances."
Before Qin Wan could respond, Qi Xiao began to speak on his own.
"Feng Yurou claims to be the phoenix maiden of prophecy. Now, all the high-ranking officials, nobles, and princes in Shengjing are crazy about her and flock to her."
"Besides Feng Yurou and her suitors, even the current emperor on the throne could not have accomplished this single-handedly, despite the King of Huainan's obstruction, by sending Ji Wenruo to the border."
Upon hearing this, Qin Wan looked at Qi Xiao, a hint of confusion appearing in her eyes.
Why are you telling me all this?
"Just say what you want to say, there's no need for so many reasons."
The moment their eyes met, Qi Xiao looked away uncomfortably.
Just as the atmosphere became slightly awkward, Qi Xiao suddenly spoke up.
"Oh, right..."
"Hmm?" Qin Wan raised an eyebrow.
“…Let me remind you of something.” Qi Xiao suddenly looked at her with a serious expression.
A faint hint of suspicion appeared in Qin Wan's eyes.
"Don't believe me."
Qin Wan was taken aback.
Meeting the confusion in Qin Wan's eyes, Qi Xiao looked away and didn't continue speaking.
"And Ji Wenruo, the Prince of Huainan..."
"If you want to live a good life, I advise you not to trust anyone." Qi Xiao seemed to be trying to cover something up, and spoke somewhat incoherently.
Although Qi Xiao looked around, gazing at the sky and the ground but refusing to look at her, Qin Wan still managed a slight smile, her lips curving into a faint smile.
"Thank you."
Qi Xiao's favorability increased by 2, current favorability is 21.
Under the moonlight, Qi Xiao lay on the hill, his eyes clear and bright.
He looked at the hazy moonlight overhead, and at Qin Wan beside him, who had quietly closed her eyes and fallen into a deep sleep at some point. A slight smile appeared on his lips.
Compared to the treacherous imperial palace, this border crossing is indeed much more interesting.
Looking at the quiet Qin Wan beside him, Qi Xiao suddenly narrowed his eyes and swiftly reached out to touch Qin Wan's slender neck...
...
...
...
Time is slipping away quietly...
Qin Wan never opened her eyes, and Qi Xiao could clearly feel the strong pulse beating under his palm.
As long as he exerts just a little force...
Qin Wan, the war god of the Great Xia Dynasty, will completely disappear from this world.
Was she really so completely unguarded around him?
Thinking of this, Qi Xiao narrowed his dark eyes and tightened his grip with his fingers.
...
...
...
Qin Wan remained unresponsive and motionless.
After a few breaths, Qi Xiao impatiently increased the pressure on his hands.
Stop pretending.
"I know you're not asleep."
